Monster sports website + 6 speed gear knobs

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a new gear knob for my 03 Evo, and I can't find one I like with a 6 speed shifter pattern on it. Or for that matter I can't really find one that I like that dosn't have a shifter pattern on it at all, the ralliart one I don't like etc etc...

I have seen one briefly that looks good, a monster sports titanium one, but I have only seen a tiny tiny picture of it. Has any one here seen this gear knob, and has a picture or knows what the monster sports website is?

Does anyone here with a 6 speed Evo 8 have an aftermarket gear knob, that they can recommend? Google isn't helping me much at all here. I can get pretty much any Japanese parts I want imported over, but I have to know what they are first! So far all I can find are Greddy, 5 speeds......

Cool cheers for the reply. Someone with a 6 speed Evo 8 (MR in the states?) must have an aftermarket gear knob?

Very nice, is that ARC titanium or something? looks great where did you get it from? Can you point me towards a website, or give me a brand and name? I like the look of that and the monster sports one because (I think from the tiny picture I've seen) the monster sports is actually burned titanium, so it has that blueish tinge that titanium goes, and that matches my seats and doors

Yeah is that ARC one really really good? I actually have a friend with one but I have never had the chance to see it in person.
That monster sports website dosn't have the gear knob that I was talking about has anyone actually seen it? I sent an email to bulletproof but to be honest its starting to look like an impossibility traking down a picture of this thing :|

I've got the ARC too, got it for $100 OTD. It has a nice tacky surface feel so it doesn't get slippery when your hand sweats like aluminum.

I want to add that I followed someones advice and dropped an email to bullet proof automotive. It turns out they don't stock it and have never seen it, and he gives me the monster sport website saying that he has looked thourghly and its not there. So I thank him, and look myself. Then he keeps looking, recommends the ARC but then he looks more in some offline catalouges and actually finds it! Next email he quotes me prices, shipping times, and they are even willing to send it all the way to the other side of the world in New Zealand.
I have to say big ups to the guys at bullet proof, customer service is top notch. I'm very impressed that he looked so hard after just a casual email from me. I would recommend anyone whos interestred in some parts look them up
